Ingredients
  

12 oz penne pasta

1 lb smoked sausage (like andouille), sliced into rounds

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

1 teaspoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: Start by cooking the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Combine Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add in the Cajun seasoning, then slowly stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-6 minutes until slightly thickened.

          Mix in Cheese and Sausage: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet, mixing well to combine.

            Add Pasta: Finally, add the cooked penne pasta into the sauce, tossing everything together until the pasta is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Garnish and Serve: Serve the creamy Cajun sausage pasta hot, garnished with sliced green onions and chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
